1945 Elizabeth Bobbett: Advertisement in the Wicklow People, 11.08.1945

Irish Farmers’ Federation

I wish to state that the Public Meeting Held in Aughrim, on 25th July, was a Meeting called under the auspices of the Wicklow Farmers’ Party, and advertised as such, and Not Under the Irish Farmers’ Federation. The published reports of the meeting contained some errors, which if not contradicted, might be harmful to the steady progress of the Irish Farmers’ Federation, which is the Farmers’ Trade Union, and does not take part in politics. The IFF had requested the Minister for Agriculture to raise the Minimum Price for Oats to 26/- per barrel, and we advise any Farmer who can do so, to store his Oats, and also keep over some for Spring Threshing. Elizabeth F. Bobbett, General Secretary.
